Another potential use for ReactOS is to offer legacy support for old Windows apps some time in the future.
In a few years time you may have some ancient crusty app that does something very important for your company, but for some reason doesn't run on the two latest versions of windows. You could either try to find an old, unsupported version of the latest version of windows that the program worked on and try to get that working on whatever hardware is around then. Or you can install the latest version of ReactOS, which has activly maintained and run your app on that.
